Can You Write Off Tax Credits for Low-income Earners?

Short answer: The earned income credit is the big one, and it's refundable even if you owe no tax.

Workers with no kids can get a smaller EITC from age 25 to 64.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
